Why ‘Intermittent Eating’ Will Be the Next Big Health Trend
Mark Sisson is widely regarded as the founding father of the ancestral health movement. A former world-class endurance athlete — with a 2:18 marathon and a 4th-place finish in the Hawaii Ironman World Triathlon Championships — the 67-year-old now presides over a wide-ranging Primal enterprise (including the Primal Kitchen line of healthy condiments) and maintains one of the world’s top health and fitness blogs at MarksDailyApple.com. Sisson is a New York Times bestselling author of numerous books, all of which challenge conventional wisdom’s diet and exercise principles.
Sisson’s latest book, Two Meals A Day (which he wrote with fellow elite athlete Brad Kearns), gets into the specifics of what and when you should eat for optimal health. In our modern world of food abundance, Sisson says eating just 2 meals a day with no snacking in between — a practice he calls ‘intermittent eating’ — is the most simple and sustainable strategy to lose fat and age well.
I recently had the opportunity to interview Sisson to get his advice for putting the Two Meals a Day philosophy into action.
